Silver Civil War POCKET SPILL!!

[umrgolf]

I went out this morning around 10AM in search of a new campsite on this very large property I've been hunting the last three days. I decided to stop by the area where the Eagle "I" cuff came from yesterday, and very glad I did! I have found randomly dropped Civil War era coins, but never anything like this.......















I recently found a Civil War map of my region and there are Union tent lines shown on the exact property I've been hunting. There was quite a bit of activity here aside from the camps, but no battles. Roughly 15,000-20,000 men were around here the entire Civil War.

I could feel the CW presences as you were digging those coins and relics, I've been in a slump of late but that video got my juices flowing again to get out and hit some of the 1850s sites here in Sacramento,no CW stuff here but all old history is exciting to unearth, congrats on the CW era spill and well put together video

Congrats on your banner find. All that history in one hole, your spot at the top is well deserved. probably wouldve been a good day to buy a lottery ticket also

A able company Cavalry regiments had 12 companies. These companies were lettered in alphabetical order, with the letter "J" omitted. There has been much theorizing as to why the US Army has never had a J Company. Three out of twelve is a good run on kepi letters , 8)

Great vid and Congrats Jeff ! soldiers lost coins in camps everywhere . I have found them in my Yank outpost up here less than a hundred of miles away from the PA and Maryland battlefields

Just realized that those coins may have represented a days pay in the union army, the poor guy lost it and now could not send money home to his family. Nice find anyway. Wouldn't it be nice to have a DNA makeup off those coins to see who was the last soldier to touch them?
